July 4th in Chicago and the Dunes

Ben went to the Dunes and to Chicago for a week around July 4th, 2005. It was a great visit - highlights included Ben's first time on the beach, meeting Andy Griffin's girls Lulu and Meg for the first time, and seeing all of the Aunts together (Aunt Stephie, Aunt Sarah and Aunt Annie). Ben stayed with Grandpa Steven and Grandma (!) Nancy, and also saw Great-Grandma Trudy, Great-Grandpa Hank, Len and Yvonne, and Great-Aunt (!) Melinda, cousins Jen and Emma, Sarah and Stephanie's boyfriends Jesse and Adam, and assorted related doggies.
